Thanks hokie66 for the response, but the design criteria my client specified calls for reinforced concrete NOT plain concrete...so I don’t care to read the section in my code about plain concrete because it is not relevant in this case. No worries, I’ll make the comment. I just want to make...

Thanks hokie66 for the response but I don’t think I agree with you considering they are specifying a 12” thick slab. Anyways, my question is did I calculate the rho correctly? Is the 6x6 the spacing and is W2.9 the area of steel? Is W2.9 = 0.029in^2?

hokie66, I don’t understand how the amount of reinforcement wouldn’t matter. It’s a 12” thick slab and I calculated the steel ratio based on a 6” wide strip. The plan dimensions are 9’-0” x 6’-0”.

Thanks EZBuilding for the response. I forgot to state that they are showing 6x6 W2.9/W2.9 top and bottom. That is why I multiplied 0.029in^2 by 2.

I have no experience in concrete design using wire reinforcement so I thought I would ask. I am reviewing shop drawings for a 12” thick machine slab and the engineer called for 6x6 (W2.9/W2.9) welded wire reinforcement. I think the 6x6 means the spacing of the longitudinal and transverse...

I am studying for the Spring 2020 SE Exam and would like to know if anyone can recommend a book for pile cap design. Thanks.
